Rating: - Great and inexpensive skype internet connector
I had been subscribed another VOIP connection for many years. But its monthly price is equal to a yearly cost of SKYPE, so I decided to switch to SKYPE. Having a D-Link dph-5OU adapter, I was able to use my existing wiring and handset. While installing the software, just don't be panic when you see the installation menu comes out again. The first time is installing the hardware, the second path is to connect the skype. I got pretty confused in the beginning, until I installed it the second time. Installation is really simple. Always download the newest version for installation from company's ... Read More
Rating: - Was perfect after you download the update
Easy to setup, but was having problems when I try to change the usb port and calls was dropping after 15 mins. I called the 877's number and they informed me that there is problem with the software that came with the package and to download the update, which came out in 9/2006. Now it is perfect.
Rating: - Works Great After Hours of Troubleshooting
Like other reviewers, I experienced problems with setting up the device. On a 4-year old Dell Optiplex dedicated solely to the task, it would alternately work and not work as I moved it from my setup and test area to the computer's final destination next to the phone. I realized that the adapter worked when plugged into the front panel USB ports, but not when plugged into the back! So the front panel must have a higher power output, based on one reviewer's comments about the amount of power required by the adapter.
After the setup problems, the adapter has been working flawlessly.

Well It's been a couple weeks since I installed this device on my PC and it has run like a champ. I guess they have ironed out the driver bugs since it was released 2 years ago because it took no real effort to install. The manual is pretty useless though. The one hiccup I found while installing the device was getting the driver to connect with Skype. It turns out that you have to change Skype's audio settings before it will connect with the device. Nowhere in the manual is this explained and it resulted in about a half hour of wasted time. In the end that's no big deal but for someone not quite ... Read More
Rating: - Works OK, but hassle to set up...
Was a serious pain to install, but after reading other reviews on Amazon I discovered that you do not want to use the install disc that comes with the device. Instead, go to D-link's web site and download the Vista driver. I believe it is version 1.10 and then use the set-up application in the downloaded file. Also, you have to change the settings under Skype options to make sure you are using your phone as the voip capture and voip playback. After I did that it worked fine although I still have to use the onscreen Skype number pad to dial. Not sure if this is supposed to be the way it works, but all in ... Read More
